The Goth Railway Children

Thanks to: Gothic.infoGothiness: 10 Sweatiness: 8My memories of The Railway Children may be clouded but I'm sure Jenny Agutter didn't look like this. But if she did, I bet Daddy was ecstatic when he arrived on that train. 1 Gothiness Point removed for the suitcase. Detail is everything.Edit: OK, enough already. An extra point for the Steampunk suitcase. I still think it should have been black. With the skull of a crow as a clasp.

Enough already! The suitcase is OK, we'll let it go. Take a deep breath. I agree that the PVC should up the Sweat rating, but she's sitting in the shade, so I can't go higher than that. Don't try and bribe me.

Effect rather ruined when you spot that the railway line has a third rail - meaning she's probably somewhere in south-east England. Maybe, say, Strood or Gillingham. That said, Gravesend has a nicely gothy ring to it.

Goths, I love 'em! I even used to be one for a bit (well, I was a Didi-Goth for at least 6 months). But there's one thing that troubles me about our cheery friends: what to do they do in summer? All that makeup, long black leather and rubber must get very sticky. I think we should show our respect for these poor unfortunates, struggling to stand out from the vanilla crowd despite blazing temperatures and sunshine that puts the rest of us in shorts and vest tops. Join me in celebrating the majesty of the Goth, who, eschewing any practicality whatever, still has the commitment to don a full length leather trenchcoat, stupid New Rock boots, and half a Superdrug counter of makeup. All hail the Hot Goth!
